Flurry of Furry Flicks Lead the Pack of Recent RomComs

1 week ago | bearworldmag.com | Kevin Thomas

There’s a flurry of gay RomComs at theatres or streaming and some of them involve furry and bear men. But whether a bear, a twink or a daddy, all of these movies have people looking for love. I think this trend in gay love stories started two years ago when Bros was released by a major studio. While it didn’t find the crossover appeal they hoped, it did open the door. Perhaps Bros sexually frank – but not explicit – scenes turned off the straight boyfriends of its female audience.
Heklina Needs Justice: An Angry Drag Show

1 month ago | bearworldmag.com | Kevin Thomas

To steal a line from the movie Network, we’re as mad as hell and we’re not going to take this anymore. This is truly the sentiment and feeling behind Justice 4 Heklina: Two Angry Drag Shows to be held in San Francisco at the Stud and then the Oasis on March 31 with protests simultaneously planned in London. This isn’t just an evening of drag – it’s a movement and a march. The evening starts at the Stud, then there’s a march with signage to the Oasis.
Nobody Loves You But We Do!

1 month ago | bearworldmag.com | Kevin Thomas

For those of us addicted to the 90 Day and The Bachelor franchises, Nobody Loves You comes off as an original, relevant and truly charming evening at the theatre and should definitely be sought out at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater through March 30. Writers Itamar Moses and Gaby Alter have put together a book and songs that we all really have been clamoring for: a musical that takes place, pays tribute and parodies TV dating shows. We have mega fan Tanya (Ashley D.
See Broadway Quality Lincoln in Southern California

2 months ago | bearworldmag.com | Kevin Thomas

Theatre nerds know his name: Joe DiPietro. The Tony Award winning maven, who has had several productions at La Jolla Playhouse before moving to Broadway, has another hit on his hands with 3 Summers of Lincoln. Late to the party and thought I missed the chance to review, but since the show is now extended through April 6, it has all of the earmarking of a success that will travel to New York. Everyone behind this show is at the top of their game.
Enjoying Sex, Love and Venice - Now at Home!

2 months ago | bearworldmag.com | Kevin Thomas

A movie rarely mixes romance with hot, steamy sex scenes but Sex Love Venice achieves just this. And does it very well. A hit at film festivals and showing at select US cities, Sex is the story of Michael (Daniel Bateman) who has been having a lot of empty sex but seeks more. His mother (a wonderful Mink Stole who is playing against type) gifts him a trip to Venice.
O2 roaming - charges in Europe and beyond

Feb 11, 2025 | 5g.co.uk | James Rogerson |Kevin Thomas

If you’re heading abroad then one of the questions you might be asking yourself is whether you’ll be charged to use your phone – and if so, how much. The good news if you’re on O2 is that this is the only one of the big four networks that doesn’t charge to roam in select locations on any of its plans, so depending on where you’re going there’s a good chance you won’t have to pay.
Bette, Judy and the Fresh Prince stop at SF Oasis

Jan 31, 2025 | bearworldmag.com | Kevin Thomas

SF Oasis continues to become the West Coast premiere location for Off-Broadway-like shows. Sure they have drag queens and nightclub events. They even sometimes open early for fundraising, community or political events. But where I love my SF Oasis is their shows. Here’s a few highlights of what’s coming up at this San Francisco institution. Matthew Martin is Hollywood Royalty promises to be three cabaret acts rolled into one and starting Feb. 6.
EE speed restrictions - how fast is 10Mbps, 25Mbps, and 100Mbps?

Jan 28, 2025 | 5g.co.uk | James Rogerson |Kevin Thomas

EE is one of the UK’s biggest and fastest mobile networks, but depending on what plan you’re on you won’t be able to take advantage of all that speed. That’s because unlike most networks, EE applies speed caps to some of its plans. So while you can get plans with unrestricted speeds (or uncapped speeds to use EE’s wording), there are also plans that top out at 100Mbps, 25Mbps, and even just 10Mbps.
BT put 5G Standalone network slicing to the test at the Belfast Christmas Market

Jan 16, 2025 | 5g.co.uk | James Rogerson |Kevin Thomas

As great as 5G is, it still isn’t fully delivering on its potential when it comes to things like network slicing – a technology that so far has barely been used – but BT just successfully deployed its first real world 5G Standalone mobile broadband network using network slicing. That sentence is a bit of a mouthful so let’s break it down. 5G Standalone – sometimes abbreviated to 5GSA – refers to a 5G network that doesn’t rely on any legacy 4G connectivity or infrastructure.
Three continues its 5G speed winning streak – but its speeds have dropped

Jan 13, 2025 | 5g.co.uk | James Rogerson |Kevin Thomas

You might expect 5G networks to improve over time, as coverage, infrastructure, and investments increase, and over a long enough period of time that typically will happen, but in the latest Speedtest Awards, the results are actually worse than in the previous one.
